Yes, I know they are wood.....but why aren't they magiked some way so 
they dont break as easily.  As important as a wand is to a 
wizard/witch, I would think they would be more durable!

Dan:
We know from CoMG class that there are only certain trees with "wand-quality" wood in the HPverse. I suspect that applying magical charms to wands is like rubbing a magnet on a piece of electronics... sort of. That is, it just messes up the effectiveness of the wand (permanently?). When wands are so easily replaceable and relatively cheap (if we go by the galleon-muggle money rate from QttA/FbaWtFT), I bet it happens all the time.
